This boy also went trick or treating for the first time. I got to go and he loved it. It was adorable watching him run around trick or treating. We get home and take his candy away, mainly to check for homemade stuff (not for drugs because who the gently caress gives drugs away, but Makowski made me scared) and my wife said that Santa took them away and that if he was good, Santa would bring candy in the morning. This dude runs over to the fire place and screams into it “Santa! You cheated me!” What the gently caress? How’d you learn that phrase dude? He’s awesome.

is this thing working
I had a fun drill weekend. It was a total clusterfuck, then we sat around yesterday doing nothing for two hours waiting for release, despite there being a huge thunderstorm coming in and most of us having an hour+ drive. Finally get released, and the first fifty minutes of my hour drive was fine. Then the storm let loose, the interstate slowed to 5mph, I couldn't see anything despite an LED light bar I put in my bumper, and when I finally got off two miles later and got past all the pulled-over semis, the town I go through was flooded under like two feet of water. I know it was around two feet because I have a horn relocated behind my bumper and it's shielded from anything less than about that, and it's full of water and sounds like the roadrunner meepmeep now. If I had been in my car instead of my beater xterra I'd have been hosed.

Thanks, command.

People hear about the army from people who were/are in the army and then still join the army.

People in the army learning from the mistakes of everyone else is less likely than world peace or a cure for cancer.

I was glad that at least when I showed up as part of the new crop of 2LTs in the unit, and the 1LTs were excitedly talking about how hilarious it was going to be when all the new LTs and privates got hazed (beaten up and tossed in cold water and covered in sand and rotten food were apparently about par for the course), we collectively decided to end that practice by making it clear that anyone who tried that poo poo was going to have such a fight on their hands, the MPs would have to get called out.

Somehow, the unit managed to get along without such stupid practices after that!

I thought hazing new officers was dui pops, felonies, or barracks raids pulling pot, coke, and guns out of rooms.

I️ want to make CPT but at the same time I️ want to get out as soon as possible, which would be next summer. Around the same time as my CPT board.

Constantly rotating in and out of the field and working late in garrison means you can’t have a life outside the Army.

Things probably aren’t going to work out with the current girl I’m dating because I’m either working or gone too much.

I️ don’t know how the gently caress people put up with this poo poo for 20+ years.

You know who cares about you being a former captain versus LT outside the military? No one.

You know what the GI Bill thinks about your former rank? Nothing.

There's a dude in my unit that decided to dip outta the last day of drill last month, and all of this month who decided to post some poo poo about Bergdahl.

I had it and basically called his rear end out.

Like how the gently caress do you decide to go UA one day, leave your troops hanging (he was a team leader), skip the PT test, and then miss the entire next month because you "had better poo poo to do", and have the gall to even begin to bitch about how light his sentence was?

“We don’t really know where this goes — and I’m not sure we really care.”
My main reasoning for making CPT was making CPT pay for a while before I got out and just pocketing some money since I️ don’t think I’ll be making as much when I️ first get out.

My buddy just got out and works for Amazon and makes slightly less but he’s a whole lot happier now...

We had a command climate survey for my company recently and the worst thing anyone had to say was that its hosed up we don't have our own printer and have to use BNs. The civilian dude that put together the results said that he usually only see's that in the SOF units on post. Not that we're super high speed or anything just that morale is pretty high.

Me and my 3 section leaders are all the same age, my PSG only a couple years older so we all get along really well. I only have one troublesome soldier and he's not even really that much trouble.
